susan rice is a native washingtonian, went to national cathedral school here. people know her. i think he was absolutely right. she had nothing to do with benghazi but the criticism should have been more at hillary clinton who that's her department, the state department and she was just repeating what was given to her and she was the fall person n this case, i think that was justified. whether or not, because of the controversy, you know, one senator can put a hold on the nomination and they've said that they would. i would be surprised now, just because of the controversy, not because of her qualifications whether he wants a confirmation donnie brook over susan rice or somebody else who very much wants the job, john kerry, who is responsible for obama's year. he picked him to be the keynote speaker in 2004. >> reporter: the president still has never actually said he was going to nominate susan rice, anyway. so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. mark, thanks so much for coming in. we always appreciate you being here. >>> a local toll road raising its rates agai
